                             KELLIE HINSHAW

  (Mrs. ELLMERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. ELLMERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my friend, Mrs. 
Kellie Godwin Hinshaw, who fought and battled cancer until it took her 
body this week in Dunn, North Carolina. Her spirit will truly live on 
within all of us.
  Kellie was a friend who inspired me in her strength to go forward 
even on the worst of days. She was a strong, loving, caring woman with 
an incredible sense of humor. She was a daughter, sister, wife, and 
mother of two beautiful boys, Kenneth and Kannon.
  Kellie had adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Despite 
this terrible disease, Kellie and her family chose to use this as a 
platform to do good. Kellie's Krew successfully organized and grew a 5K 
race that has raised well over $100,000 for adenoid cystic carcinoma 
research and has brought our whole community together.
  Kellie taught our community that ``vain'' is a four-letter word and 
that beauty truly comes from within. She will be forever loved by her 
family, her community, and me.
